Leaning Trane

Which of these should I buy? I have a credit.

Malice in Wonderland

Snoop Dogg, Mayer Hawthorne: the pop superduo.

To be in Dumars’ head

A lot of whispering has been happening about a deal for Tayshaun or Rip: Heintz and I were just talking about Boozer/AK-47 for Rip/Tay/Max. Let’s make a deal?

Journalism, yeah!

Good article about how the search of the perfect apple ended up backfiring. Slow down man, you’re killing ‘em.

Scoring cool points for the balding

Manu swats a bat; I haaaaaaate bats. This makes up for some (not all, but several) of his more horrendous flops.

To write an unromantic novel

Good interview with John Updike from 1978:

Life is a very strange thing, in a way, compared to life in a novel. People in novels rather rarely eat; their health is not often of concern to them; earning money isn’t nearly as important to them as it is to those of us in the real world. In the very novel form there are distortions, variations, whereas the love life of novel characters and their personal interrelations. E. M. Forester somewhere says that people in novels are so sensitive to each other—we all kind of blunder through life, more or less dazed; yet people in novels are ever so aware of each other, and sharp. So, novels and life are not strictly equivalent.

Kicking it old school

Ahnuld is a true diplomat.

Was not expecting that

This Bill Simmons/Kenny Mayne video is actually funny.

The sequel the world was waiting for?

Boondocks Saints part two (I’m only posting this to build karma with Julie Benz):

Mike White is everywhere

Not sure if this looks good or not:

When I first saw the poster, I thought it was Benicio Del Toro in the lead role, not the dude from “Flight of the Conchords.”
